Kane shirks duty by not defending Pa. against same-sex lawsuit

July 12, 2013

I find it astounding that our state Attorney General Kathleen Kane is not willing to defend the laws of our commonwealth. I'm speaking of her announcement that she will not defend the commonwealth against the suit recently brought against it by the American Civil Liberties Union.

She should at least be honest and say she cannot "politically defend" Pennsylvania's law. If she were ethical, she would do the job she was elected to do and that is to uphold the laws of the commonwealth. It's not up to her to decide which laws she'll uphold only if she agrees with them.
